lyrics

CITY OF ANGELS © 2009 Jay Spears Music ASCAP

Wind from the east sears the City of Angels
Santa Ana from the Valley of Death
Blows Mojave's hot dry breath
Through the City of Angels

I was born in the City of Angels
MacArthur Park where Good Sam plays
Grandparents rest between three freeways
In the City of Angels

City of Angels, City of Angels
Won't you come to the City of Angels?
City of exiles, alternate lifestyles
Stay with me, in the City of Angels

Wind from the west cools the City of Angels
Catalina Eddy knows just how
June gloom soothes the seething brow
Of the City of Angels

City of Angels....
City of dope, city of hope

Look at me, all at sea in this
Ocean of humanity
Yet not a drop to drink for me
Can't you see? There's no one that's you here
In my City of Angels

Instrumental

Won't you come to the City of Angels?
From Mulholland, we can see
What a paradise it can be
In the City of Angels

City of Angels....
Movers & shakers, users and fakers
Play with me
Pray with me
Stay with me

Michael (who is like God?), pray for us.
Gabriel (God's hero), pray for us.
Raphael (God heals), pray for us.
Seraphim and Cherubim, pray for us.
Thrones and Dominations, pray for us.
Virtues and Powers, pray for us.
Principalities, Archangels, and Angels, pray for us.
All you holy orders of blessed spirits, pray for us.
